The very first CHERUB adventure is about to begin ...
Summer, 1940.
Hitler's army is advancing towards Paris, and millions of French civilians are on the run.
Amidst the chaos, two British children are being hunted by German agents.
British spy Charles Henderson tries to reach them first, but he can only do it with the help of a twelve-year-old French orphan.
The British secret service is about to discover that kids working undercover will help to win the war.
For official purposes, these children do not exist.

Praise for Henderson's Boys: The Escape: Book 1
-
It has the feel of something quite big and satisfying... Muchamore's voice is fresh and direct. - Daily Telegraph
-
Muchamore's plain, punchy, often funny style ... is highly effective... This clever, tense novel is a great way of getting bored boys interested in history. - Amanda Craig, The Times
-
This book was un-put-downable. It gripped me from start to finish, and was just as good as the CHERUB series, if not better! - Aaron, 14, First News

Robert Muchamore
ROBERT MUCHAMORE was born in Islington in 1972. As a teenager he dreamt of either becoming an architect, a photographer or a writer. On discovering that architects have to train for seven years and after quitting his Saturday job in a camera shop, he saved up enough money to buy a word processor and set his heart on writing. The only problem was, he didn't know what to write. So, he found a regular job and spent thirteen years as a private investigator.
He was inspired to start writing again by his nephew's complaints about the lack of anything decent to read. Robert's CHERUB and Henderson's Boys series are bestsellers around the world.
Robert grew up listening to mix tapes sent to him by his older brother, developing tastes for indie bands like Joy Division, The Pogues and The Smiths. The idea for Rock War came from seeing that many of Robert's fans turned up at book signings wearing the logos of long dead rock bands, and a realisation that his online fan forum had more kids talking about the X-Factor than about his books.
